Day 8- Gone Raw
Ok so it has been 8 days sense i decided to go on raw foods. I start each day out with a green smoothie filled with kale greens, celery, apple,pineapple,lemon. Thanks to the book Green for Life. It gives me lots of energy and fills me up too. Guess what, I am not hungry all day anymore!
And i have to say I love living raw (so far). My sister swares i will began craving meat and looking at people like pork chops soon, but i beg to differ. I think i have completely made up my mind and it has been a long time coming for me to decide to give up meat and such. I am pretty firm in my conviction, i am just so happy that Mr. Big decided to do this for a month with me so i don't have to overcome any temptations.
But I purposely went to the store and around cooked food just to see how i would react and actually it was not so bad. My main problem is sweets. i love ice cream and cake and chocolate and stuff. But that is all good too because there are so many things i can make with raw chocalate and natural sweetners like agave.
I also find that i love raw granola, i had some for breakfast with hemp seed milk this morning, yummmmy!
I am also learning to be a raw food chef. I made this green seaweed pate wrap and it is a wonderful great taste in the mouth. And filling without the worry of calorie counting!
Also i have released 5lbs! So that is a plus. Looking forward to continuing on the journey.
I made my own ice cream with nuts and seeds and added a banana and it is yummy. I never knew real food could taste so good.

That's great Sharon! The drink in the morning sounds really healthy and is probably giving your body something it's been needing, hence why you feel so good after drinking it...
But the seaweed wrap is pretty easy.
First you make the pate filling.
2 leaves of kale greens
1 leaf of romaine lettuce
1 stalk of celery
1 forth of an onion
teaspoon of sea salt
1alvacodo
mix it all up in the food processor
Then Just take a piece of whole wheat flat bread for the wrap.
Then add a sheet of nori seaweed on top of it
spread the pate on top of the nori
then roll it up like a wrap and cut into smaller pieces.
This is a recipe i came up with on my own but for more raw food recipes check out http://www.goneraw.com/
